Well I thought he already retired, but there you go, he is now officially done. The seven-time All-Star had an awful leg injury in 2007, and tried to fight his way back, and was even working out with the Heat. Miami even left a space in their locker room for him, but he finally came out and said...
"I truly feel it's best that I retire. When you've got something you love and you're passionate about, it's hard to let that go. But at 38 I feel I've physically done all I can for this game. It has been an amazing ride (Sportsline)."
Mourning had to fight through a lot in his career, and I have always respect that about him. A lot of guy would have given up, but he was able to battle back, and be a real asset to Miami. He is just too old to do it again. I hope his health improves while he is in retirement, because he has earned it.
